Two slightly different versions of Naomiki Sato's rose.

Sato adapted the famous Kawasaki's rose for a pentagonal paper sheet, which makes the rose much closer to the real one (the flowers of Rosaceae, the botanical family including roses but also apples, cherries, strawberries, apricots, etc, have in general pentagonal symmetry).

It is also my favourite origami rose of all. Easy to fold, easy to modify, plenty of possible variations, looks amazing.

Parents just got this email from the school district.

Still marveling at what Democrats in the #MNleg managed to do with a one-vote margin.

One vote.

Not because they had a safety margin. Not because they expect to win again this way.

I have so many plans. It would incorporate a Galton board, a Ranque-Hilsch marble vortex tube, and a compartment lined with pinball bouncers with a camera-and-servo Maxwell's Demon that separated the balls into fast and slow sides.
